I put a wheelskin leather cover on my steering

wheel about 1.5 years ago. Still looks like new, has a fantastic feel compared to the oem (thicker, softer, & better grip). Everyone should do this as soon as they get a new car. Looks completely professional; I sometimes forget that I added it.

Installation took about an hour and a quarter sitting in the car and listening to the radio and taking my time to get the job done right. If you have a knack for crafts, you should have no problem. It does help to wear at least one glove on the hand you pull the cord tightly on after each threading. The cord is strong and thin, so it can cut into your hand some if you're pulling tight enough.
Pay attention to the suggested method to bridge across the spokes on the wheel.

exactly...I put the cover on both my E46s and...

they were still new looking 4 yrs later when I sold the cars. You're right about wearing a glove. That waxed cord starts wearing on your hand about half way through.
